COMPLAINTS MULTIPLYING
That Railroad Companies Discriminate
in Their Rating of Goods.

There was no public session of the interstate
commerce commission yesterday. The board
of railroad and warehouse commissioners OF
the state Of Minnesota transmitted petition
of the board of trade of the cities Of Farming
ton, North6eld, Faribault, and Owatonna, in
that state, accompanying complaint against
the chicago Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad
Company. The state board respectfully re.
quests that the subject-matter be Investigated
by the interstate commerce commission and
such action taken as may appear to be Just and
lawful. The state board expresses Its desire to
aid the commission in every legitimate and
complaint The petition and complaints.
which are indorsed and recommended by the
business Mems Association OF the state of
Minnesota, recite that large and costly Touring
mills have been erected and operated at Farm
ington and the other towns represented In the
petition, which ship large quantities of flour by
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad
to Milwaukee and Chicago, 1t IL alleged that
the charges made by the railroad company on
this traffic are unjust aud unreasonable; that
it charges and receives from persons living at
Pennington and the other towns mentioned q
greater compensation. for the transportation of
mill stutis 10 points oil the road In Wisconsin.
Iowa and iRos z, than It. receives drpm per-
Menomonee, Eau Claire, and Chippewa Fails
for like services. which has resulted In the
undue and unreasonable prejudice and disad-
vantage of the aforementioned towns. II is
alleged that the railroad charges IA cents q
hundred for the transportation of mill stuffs
from St. Paul to points on the Mississippi river,
while II charges IS cents on like traffic from
the complaining towns to the same points. AS
a result Of these unjust, unequal, and unreas-
enable charges, 1t is stated that the mills at
Pennington, Faribault, and other towns are
unable TO compete successfully with tho st.
Paul and Minneapolis millers, and that many
mills have been closed and large numbers OF
men discharged.
A complaint was also received from James
Pyle d Sons, the soap manufacturers of New
York, in which they charge the Southern Rail
way and Steamboat Association with dis
eliminating against them in the unjust rating
Of their goods. They pray for relief.
The commission Is now In possession of an
official seal. 1t was designed aud engraved
by Mr.. Julius Baumgarten, OF this CITY,. An
lncian canoe, an emigrant wagon, and loco
motive are the principal features Of the seal.
Why the two former are there Is not known, 1t
having been generally imagined that they were
not within the Jurisdiction of the commission.

Eenntor Chandler.

The Hon. VIM. L. Chandler has been
nominated by the Republican caucus OF
the New Hampshire legislature as the Re-
publican candidate for United States sena-
tor. Mr.. Chandler received on the first
ballot 11s votes out of 1856 cast in the eau
Gus, and the nomination was made unani-
nous.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN takes no
stock in the talk that number OF the Re.
publican members Of the New Hampshire
legislature will refuse TO vote for Mr..
Chandler, but will unite with the Demo
Gratis to elect some other Republican, and
assumes that on next Tuesday Mr.. Chandler
will be, as now he certainly ought to be,
elected United States senator.
Mr.. Chandler is q man OF pronounced
views, and does not hesitate to expires;
them. He is bright, strong man, full oi

apologize for his principles, but defend:
them with force and sincerity. Such mer

With more than three quarters of the vote

Exchange List.

Philadelphia Times. The time has come
when the American people should exercise
the right to discriminate In regard to those
who seek homes on American soil. We
still have room for industrious, law abiding,
liberty-loving, self-sustalning foreigners.
We have none for paupers, criminals, rev.
olutlonists, and anarchists.
Detroit Tribune. The Republican party
can protect the interests OF the country and
OF labor without imposing burdens upon
any class OF people, and that is what 1t is
going to do. The Democratic free trade
Idea OF national and individual prosperity
is to put a check on the industrial interests
Of this country by opening up free compe-
titicn with The pauper paid labor OF the old
country. This, however, Is not the popular
American idea, and it will not prevail.
New York Sun. The fact is that the
management Of the Union square meeting,
by which tho George party attempted to
convert II to their own uses, was the most
monumental insult to all sincere Irishmen
who took part In 1t, and Mr.. O'Brien's re-
fusal to lerd himself TO the job saved the
laboring men from one OF the basest i'm
positions ever attempted. Let District
Assembly 70 and other branches OF their
order think these facts over, and they will
not continue to do injustice to Mr.. O'Brlen.
New York Herald. The British govern
ment has fixed upon June IL as the day for
reporting the coercion bill. 1t is day Of
bright omen to the Irish. The anniversary
Of the battle Of Bunker Hill recalls the
glorious defeat OF patriots o'erborne by
numbers. Pressed by a superior force
well typiaed. by the compact parliamentary
majority at the present governments back
the unframed and half armed farmers Of
Massachusetts, lost the battle when their
ammunition gave out, yet 1t was one OF
those victories that are deadly to the VIC
tor. Doubtless the British government
will carry its point In parliament week
hence, as It did on the field OF Bunker Hill
III years ago. 1t is almost certain that its
success will be equally barren Of per-
manency. Tyrants should have long mem
ories. May the day of Bunker Hin be one
Of as happy omen to the Irish as 1t was to
the Americans.
Chicago Tribune: The legislative COM
mittee OF the Knights OF Labor recon-
mends that the organization "sclect no
more than three great public measures,
and proceed to educate the members and
the public at large on those questions"
The three questions suggested-a govern
ment telegraph, the disposition of the
treasury surplus, and the method OF consti-
tuting the United States Senate-although
by no means new, are somewhat important.
They have engaged the careful study OF
leading men In the old parties, and II the
Knights OF Labor can contribute anything
to the enlightenment and education OF the
general public in regard to these matters
they are certainly entitled to the floor

can the trade union Knights OF Labor.

The Knights of Labor and Congress.

The legislative committee Of the Knights
OF Labor, in their report to the general
executive committee, did some plain talk
ing as to the action of the Democrats in
Congress. After detailing the efforts made
to secure what the committee believed to
be proper legjslation-the virtual refusal Of
Mr.. Carlisle to hear them-the organization
of "the steering committee" consisting OF
Messrs. Carlisle, Randall, and Morrison
the powers conferred on 1t and those
usurped by Mr.. Carlisle, the knights say:
And to your committee there was another
feature about this method and manner of con
ducting legislation that we cannot say com
manded our admiration. 1t was the blind sub
serviency with which members Of party would

as lar as legislation is concerned, viz: "That It

The discoveries made by the legislative
committee Of the knights, and given in their
report on this subject, might have been
condensed into few words, as follows
"The Democrats In Congress acknowledged
their incapacity to leglslate and surrendered
all their power into the hands Of their three

selves as incapable as the party"

IN examining only few Of the exchanges
received yesterday, one in Ohio, two in
Michigan, one In West Virginia, and
one in Oregon were noted as having
taken articles from the NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN and reproduced them as orig
inal editorials. Two OF these papers were
dailies in towns Of considerable size. We
do not seriously object to this, provided
the papers who do IL will agree to steal ex-
clusively from the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,.
In that event We know that their readers
will have the pleasure Of reading sound and
well-written editorials, which might not
be the case If they were stolen from some
other paper or written at home, but the
honest press OF the country should demand
that this wholesale plagiarism be ventilated.
